So, what are the most commonly used disposable lunch boxes in coffee shops? In this article, we will introduce you in detail.

 

 

Common Disposable Packaging Container Types Used in Cafes

 

 

Hot Drink Paper Coffee Cups

Hot drinks generally use double wall coffee cups. YANGRUI's double wall coffee cups are mainly made of two layers of paper and a plant-based bioplastic lining. The double-walled structure design increases the heat preservation and heat resistance of the cup, which can protect customers' hands from being burned.

 

Cold Drink Plastic Cups

Single wall coffee cups have a thin structure and are suitable for cold drinks. YANGRUI's single wall coffee cups are made of a single layer of food-grade paper, and a special coating is added to the inner wall to prevent beverage leakage.

 

Plastic Food Packaging

Plastic food containers is usually used for desserts, snacks, and light meals in cafes. YANGRUI offers various types of plastic food containers, including lightweight plastic round plates with compartments, disposable stackable deep round dinner plates, and plastic hinged lid containers, etc.

 

Accessories

Accessories are used to assist food containers and are generally matched with them as a set. YANGRUI provides high-quality paper straws and plastic portion cups and other accessories to meet different matching needs

How to Choose the Right Disposable Packaging Box

 

 

1. Material Comparison

Cardboard is suitable for dry goods and baked goods. It is usually coated with PE or PLA to enhance waterproofness. It is widely used in coffee cups, sandwich boxes and pastry trays.

Plastics (PP, PET) are often used for cold salads, desserts and lids. PET is best for cold food, while PP is heat-resistant.

Sugarcane bagasse (sugarcane fiber) is a biodegradable material that is ideal for hot food. It has good moisture retention and oil resistance and is often used in clamshell containers and dinner plates.

 

2. Environmental Protection

If your brand focuses on sustainability, consider using biodegradable, compostable or recyclable materials such as kraft paper, recycled paper, PE, PP, etc. These options can attract environmentally conscious customers and reduce the impact on the environment.

 

3. Product Features

You can choose disposable packaging boxes based on product practicality, such as leakproofness, insulation, stackability, and whether the lid is sealed.

 

4. Custom Printing

Branded packaging helps to increase visibility. If custom printing is required, you can choose a supplier who can provide customized services. They can incorporate company logos, brand colors and design elements on disposable boxes according to customer needs. This helps to strengthen brand image and increase brand exposure.

 

5. Cost Control

Quality and budget also need to be balanced when choosing disposable boxes. Bulk purchasing can help reduce unit costs, while working with reliable suppliers can ensure consistent product quality and reduce supply interruptions.

 

6. Regulations and Certification Standards

Food containers used in cafes must comply with local food safety regulations to ensure that they are safe for direct contact with food and beverages. If necessary, compostability certification is also required, such as ASTM D6400 or EN 13432.
